Eight of Cups Tarot card meaning

The card speaks for itself on the surface, but other readings are entirely antithetical - giving joy, mildness, timidity, honour, modesty. In practice, it is usually found that the card shews the decline of a matter, or that a matter which has been thought to be important is really of slight consequence - either for good or evil.

Eight of Cups

Tarot card meaning:

Things thrown aside as soon as gained. Journeying from place to place. Misery and repining without cause. Disappointment in love. The seeker may desire to leave material success for something higher. Success abandoned.

A man of dejected aspect is deserting the cups of his felicity, enterprise, undertaking or previous concern.
